Amy and Beth       04/04/05 08:11 PM Edit Reply Quote Taylahmai Reged: 11/03/04 Posts: 257 Loc: Western Australia I'm emailing you the info on frutose malabsorption as we speak. I can't post it on the boards as I had to pay for it, so could get in strife. Amy, fructose malabsorption is apparently a very common trigger for people with IBS, and is a result of enterocytes (cells in the intestines) not functioning properly so fructose cannot be absorbed properly. And it differs to fructose intolerance, which is a pretty rare hereditary condition whereby the body doesn't produce the enzymes necessary for fructose digestion. So malabsorption is poor digestion of fructose, intolerance is when it can't be digested at all. But in both cases the fructose ferments in our intestines and causes horrible bloating, gas and diarrhea. Yet with all conditions, constipation can be a sign as well. Have a read of the info, its mainly a guide on how to go fructose free. The idea is to follow a strict fructose free diet for two weeks to see whether there's any improvements. And the main thing to note is fructose malabsorption is 'treatable' by going fructose free for a couple of months (I think to let the intestine cells recover?) and then to limit your frutose intake once you've 'recovered'. -------------------- ~ Live life, don't let life live you ~ Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
